A dear friend is in Jerusalem now. According to the Times of Israel, “US State Department urges Americans to immediately leave over a dozen Mideast nations, including Israel: 'Depart now via commercial means due to serious safety risks'”.

As I listened to Marco Rubio state that "Iran has seen nothing yet. We will stay the course", I thought of all those politicians, corporations, and people who are sanctioning this atrocity and wondered why they just don't don a uniform and head for the front lines.

I'll wait for their response.
